Zoya Angel




















Angel was one I had never been interested in before, until I saw it in real life. I really adored Angel, but it was just missing something for me to love it...


Angel is a baby pink frost. A little darker than OPI Suzi & The Lifeguard though.

Just two coats here. Formulas amazing and everything. I think maybe it was the frosty finish that put me off? Anyway she has found a new home :)

Angel is a part of Zoya's main line.

What do you think of Angel and 'Frosts'?

OPI Play 'Till Midnight




















This was the other amazing navy my partner bought me for one Christmas, Play 'Till Midnight.


Play Till Midnight came out in the 'Holiday in Toyland' collection for Christmas 2008. Far out that went past quickly.

Now Play Till Midnight doesn't look as amazing inside as it does outside. It looks like a dulled/greyed navy indoors or with no sunlight. But outside in the sun really brings out that blue and purple shimmer.

Truly amazing. So amazing that every female in my family has a bottle!

I remember I went through a phase where every time I wore white - this was my manicure.

Play Till Midnight's formula is perfection, wouldn't change anything about it. Wearing two coats here.

OPI Sugar Cookie Pink




















I think Sugar Cookie Pink was my favourite out of the Sweet Pink collection. Especially with such a cute name.


Sugar Cookie Pink is really different. It's like its highly pigmented and super sheer at the same time! Confusing aren't I?

I mean with a regular sheer polish you eventually get some sort of build-up but with Sugar Cookie Pink you only build up the pinkness, not the coverage. I am wearing four coats here.

It looks really pretty as just one or two coats as well. It gives your nails a healthy but cute glow to it.

Sugar Cookie Pink's formula was a little bit different, it went on a little bit thick but you really only need thin coats as you aren't going to get anymore coverage than the first coat. Plus Sugar Cookie is super glossy. Which I really liked!

I can tell I'll be wearing this one a lot :D

My Stash Update!

Far out I only took these photos not too long ago and its already out of date >_<



Anywho! This is my 'sort of current stash', and I am so excited because I just ordered a polish stand! I don't think all will fit though...



All of the following photos are labeled and I aplogise if they are spelt wrong/hard to read :)



What do you think?



Just realised- OMG my flakie NFU-Ohs are not here! As well as MAC Light Affair... I will have to do a catch-up post lol.

OPI Pink Cupcake




















Now Pink Cupcake is a lot more exciting!


Pink Cupcake is 'gummy' looking pink with pink and blue shimmer. I really love it. Pink Cupcake reminds me of buying gummy lollies after school.

I used just two coats here. You get a nice coverage with Pink Cupcake.

The formula was superb. Nice thickness too it, not runny at all.

What do you think of this one?

OPI Pink a Peach




















Pink a Peach was from OPI's Sweet Pink collection released in Asia. I was super excited to get these but this one really underwelmed me.


Pink a Peach looks like a frosty grandma colour to me, maybe it's just my skintone with it?

Two coats used here. The formula was a little thick but it was ok to use, just meant thicker coats.

To me it looks like a peachier version of OPI's Cherry Blossom. Pink a Peach has that same silver shimmer and microshimmer as Cherry Blossom.

What do you think?

MAC Blissed Out




















I picked up Blissed Out from MAC's collection Warm & Cozy recently thinking it was going to be a pretty neutral peach or peachy nude.


I had no idea it was going to give me mannequin hands! Although it does give my nails that look, I quite like it for the days when I just don't want my nails to be flashy or stand-out.

I used three coats here to get it to be completely opaque. The formula was a little thickish but I thought that was good as it kept Blissed Out from being sheer. You could easily build the colour up.

The MAC girl who usually helps me was wearing it and it looked like a lovely peach on her, she was darker skinned than me though.

What do you think about this look?
